[Bug 343363] Re: gnome functional depends on cryptsetup, but not in package management

[Martin Pitt]

It would be fine for udisks to recommend it, but before we do that it
needs to be split. We'd actually like to have the cryptsetup program in
the default install, but not all the initramfs scripts for booting from
an encrypted drive (as they slow down and complicate the boot process).

So if we could split off a cryptsetup-bin with the /sbin/ and /lib
parts, and leave the boot integration in the "cryptsetup" package, I'm
happy to add a recommends. This should preferably be done in Debian
then.

  gnome functional depends on cryptsetup, but not in package management

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cryptsetup

  If you plug an LUKS encrypted media on plain ubuntu 8.04 install,
  gnome is asking for an password, and then reports that the volume can
  not accessed because cryptsetup is not installed. Maybe gnome could
  ask to install cyptsetup, or set cryptsetapt as dependency for the
  gnome package ?
